As f yesterday afternoon I have no power going to my pool equipement. I have the Jandy Aqualink RS PDA remote and it will turn on but not connect to the power center and there are no light on or any response from anything in the power box. l have checked all connections, breakers, GFCI plus...

As my pumps started up this morning I noticed the spa overflow downpour was really heavy. It looked nice but not normal so I went investigating. As far as I can tell, the automated actuator that stops the flow of water from the spa returns to the pool returns is not working. My daughter used...

Due to my wonderful test kit and this great site, I have never had my water tested at a pool store. My question is do they check for CYA on normal testing? Is it very accurate? I would like to see if their results are near mine to make sure I am reading the test right. THX :lol:

Ok, I just returned from a 2 wk vacation. My pool was very low (20) on CYA so while I was gone I used some left over pucks to add chlorine & CYA while I was gone. I just checked the CYA level and it has not changed so I just want to make sure it does not take some time for it to register like...

My plaster (Quartz) pool was completed this spring. The last 2 tests I have done for CH are showing very little calcium so I am going to go buy some today. I just want to make sure that this is all normal. When the pool was started the CH was very high (600) and I have never added anything to...

The hot tub fountain broke and a piece is still partly in the hole in the hole in the bottom of the hot tub. I can not get it out so draining the hot tub into the pool is my next option. I have the Aqualink pool remote so the valves are on remote changers so I can't just close the hot tub...

My pH has been high this week and normally I can treat it once a week and it stays managable. This week I have added Muratic acid everyday and just cant get it to come down at all. I have been adding more than recommended by pool calculator. My pool is about 5 months old and this is a new...

Our pool was completed in February so I have been quickly learning how to handle it. I had a small algae break out a few weeks ago and have been working to get the TA & PH stable. After lots of rain and storms we had a nice sunny day today and for the first time I realized how clear my water is...

Well, I feel like I have a handle on the chemistry of the pool but please let me know if you have any suggestions. Here are my numbers today - FC - 4 CC - 1 PH - 7.5 TA - 110 CH - 600 CYA - 40 CSI - .27 I am losing about half my chlorine overnight so adding about 60 oz bleach a day and the ph...

Here are this mornings numbers... FC 2.5 (added bleach to get that up to about 5) CC 0 PH 7.8 TA 140 CH 550 CYA 35 I am trying to lower the TA and added some M acid this morning. The ph is now at 7.2 and I am running the bubbler and fountain. Am I headed in the right direction? How long do...

The new pool is full, pump is running, cleaner is on, time to play chemist!! I added the 3" pucks to the feeder for now so that at least the pol is getting some chlorine until I can get to the store on Saturday. I really like the TFP test kit and the spinner thing!! Here are the results...

My new decks have dried over night and there is this white stuff all over the top of it this morning. What is this and will be cause any problem when we spray on the Sundek? THANKS!!

The guys just showed up to do the tile and I don't like the colors. It is VERY different from the sample I was shown so now I will have to select something else. We are having OK flagstone coping and want tile to match the colors in the stone. We want something that looks very natural. If...

We are scheduled for gunite on Thursday but the forecast is high of 41 and then a chance of some rain/snow/strong winds late inthe day. The lows for the next 2 nights will be in the low 20's. Will this cold cause any problems with the gunite curing?? I just want to make sure we are not setting...

I have been looking at these 2 sets and wondered if anyone has any input on if one is better than the other. Pool builder is adding the holes in the deck so we just need the poles, net, and ball. Any feedback would be appreciated!! http://www.coolpoolproducts.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=24...

Permits are approved, trees cut down, shed moved, pavers cleared, grills relocated. Ok, all is done and they were starting the dig today until the snow/ice hit us this weekend!! BUMMER - the dig is cancelled and we are waiting to hear on the new date. We are set to go look at some more plaster...

We are trying to decide between these colors for our new pool. I would love to see pictures of pools that have any of these 3 QuartzScapes colors. Our builder is trying to find some we can go see to help us get a better idea of how blue the water is. THANKS!!

Well, I have been lurking for over a year and now it looks like I may be on my way to being a pool owner. DH says we can wait another year or 2 and get the BIG pool I have talked about with a diving board or we can scale it back and do it this fall. We talked about doing a deep end still but...
